Awesome. Glad to have a new Hammill fan.
Digging through his discography is going to be a treat.
He just released an album last month with Isildurs Bane that might be worth checking out if you're looking for recent music as well.

Oh wow, Peter Hammill has a new album out? I had no idea! Thanks for the update. I will definitely have to check it out. I am glad that you like Nadir's Big Chance, LankyLen. Ironically that was the album by him that took me the longest to appreciate, probably because I was so enamored with his darker and more complicated stuff and sort of anti-punk/anti-pop during a short period of my edgy teenage years. Now I agree it is one of his landmark releases! I especially love the songs "Birthday Girl" and "People You Were Going to".

Listened to Soft Machine’s first album at PCTrooper’s suggestion. Liked it, but didn’t love it. Sounded to me, like a lot of late sixties experimental stuff sounds. I can appreciate it though, because of what that music evolved into.
I’ll have to give some of their later stuff a listen as well.[/quote]

Treadmill Horses by Andy HackbarthThis guy is insanely unknown, he's a singer-songwriter from Denver but he made his way to my hometown in Idaho for a show and that's how I know him, so I doubt anyone has just stumbled across him online (in fact he's only on this website because I put him here). He's an extremely vivid lyricist and captivating guitar player, check out his album Treadmill Horses

PJ Harvey is far from underrated. She's one of the most critically-acclaimed and commercially-successful female singer-songwriters in history. I agree her music is brilliant!
Under-appreciated, yet highly-recommended, would be:
Einstürzende Neubauten (introductory album: Silence is Sexy...avant-garde industrial rock, somewhat softer and more accessible than previous works).
Truly - Fast Stories from Kid Coma...progressive psychedelic rock borne of the Seattle grunge era.
Can - Tago Mago...seminal early-70's experimental krautrock.
Mansun - Six...the actual best album to come out of the Britpop era: crunchy progressive rock with intellectual as well as emotional heft.
Gong - You...almost-forgotten hippy jazzy spacerock band who were active from the late-60' up until fairly recently. The band leaders have passed on now but left us with a fun discography, of which You is arguably their finest and most accessible work.
Scott 4 - Recorded in State LP...bluesy folky relaxed vibes.
Jah Wobble - Shout at the Devil...eastern-flavoured electronica.
La Femme - Mystère...energetic colourful psychedelic beachrock.
Deep Sweden - Chemistry Lab...eccentric avant-folk fun.
Bosnian Rainbows - one-off side-project from the Mars Volta guitarist. Poppy, emotive and addictive.
Bat for Lashes - Haunted Man...if you enjoy PJ Harvey, Goldfrapp or Kate Bush then expect similar here, a bit more accessible even.

JOSweetheart suggested I listen to her favorite, James Otto. I did. I like country music, but have only heard a few great albums (Sturgill Simpson and Jamey Johnson come to mind). Otherwise I find they usually turn out a few good songs with a bunch of filler. I found this album to be like that. Not bad, but not great.

As an extension to the Floyd/Zappa/late-era Beatles stuff on your chart, I'll give you one of my all time favorite bands that I didn't see on your chart, Rush. They are by no means an under the radar band or whatever, but I think any album in the stretch of Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure would fit right in to your chart.
